I have dedicated my life to the idea that we can and must encounter God not only in nature, but in every human being we meet. That encounter leads to obligations. Unlike any of God’s other creations, we are created in God’s Image.

From some of my discussions over the years, I believe that we could form open agreements with countries such as the U.S. and Canada and others, were we to agree to grant refugee status where warranted and absorb some of the refugees here.
